Parasites and Hosts

Life cycle of parasites

For research and teaching we keep several life cycles of protozoan and helminth parasites at our Department. Some parasite species are also kryoconserved in liquid nitrogen for demonstration purposes (e. g. in practicals). As many of our parasites are dependent on living in a rodent host, we have to keep and breed several rodent species. Responsible for the animal care are Karin Biermann and Sabine Thiel.
